Project Superpowers: Chapter Two #3

Part of Dynamite's ambitious Project Superpowers: Chapter Two saga, this 2009 issue centers on a hooded, red-and-blue clad warrior leaping forward with daggers raised, bursting through a brilliant cross-shaped beam of light while a gallery of costumed figures looms in the background. Alex Ross's cover has a sweeping, painterly grandeur that makes the central figure feel both powerful and purposeful. With writing by Ross and Joe Casey and interior art by Carlos Paul, "The Mighty Samson" promises a rich chapter in this sprawling superhero revival.
